LCD color problem: Weird Teal/Blue-ish

Hey Everyone,
My LCD screen seems to not be displaying colors as well as it should, almost as if it isn't displaying all the colors that it is in fact capable of...
I had some prior problems with my phone, including a non-functional power button, a digitizer with some unresponsive blind spots along the left and right side of the screen, and a very faint/low volume through the in-call speaker.
I had been planning to go inside my phone using the teardown/repair guide, and actually ended up stripping my phone down to the LCD panel.
The good news is I have fixed all the problems that I had set out to fix while doing the teardown.
HOWEVER, my screen is now a weird teal/blue color. For example, when I equip the standard HTC skin (the one with the nice colorful bubble background) Instead of the notification bar/button being a solid steel gray, they seem to have striping pattern with some dull colors of gray but with this teal coloration.
I was wondering if it is more likely something to do with the pcb/lcd getting slightly damaged when I did the teardown, or is it possible it is something to do with a setting on my phone? (the boot screen did load up once, when I was doing the teardown and checking if my phone still worked, I chose reboot as the option)
HELP!

Well more then likely it is the conectors I've seen it to many times when people dicide to take apart phones id say take it all apart and make sure your cabbles are plugged in nice and and firm report back and tell me. Also make sure you havnt nicked anythng on the pcb boards (traces or anything) no nicked cords ect

Same thing happening with mine, it's a week old and I've never taken it apart.

Only thing i can think of that happened that makes sense is a damaged pcb flex cable, thats it.but the weird thing is i fixed everything else. Its annoying cause videos look wack and taking photos is also messed. Ill probably go back into my phone and see what i can do, ive opened it like 8 times so wont be too hard.

me too
Just wonderening if anyone found a solution to this problem as I am experiencing the same thing. I have never taken my phone apart. I have my own post called display color problems. Please help! This is absolutely obnoxious!

I sent mine back to Bell for repair. Took 2 weeks, don't know what they did but it works great now.

Was that an expensive repair? Wish I knew what the problem was so I could try to fix it myself.

Actually it was covered under warranty so cost me nothing.

Well thanks anyway.

Is your phone not under warranty? If it's because you rooted it, you can relock the phone with gfree and restore the BellMobility RUU...

Yeah I guess I could but I really can't go two weeks with no phone. That's the main problem.

Figured I'd give this thread a bump. Really just hoping that someone out there has some experience with this problem. I've searched the net high and low to no avail. I don't want to waste money on unnecessary parts if I just need one. Presently, I plan on replacing my LCD. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

This happened to me before i first opened up my phone. I wouldn't replace the LCD because i cracked mine, and had to replace it and it still does it. Just try and get a replacement phone from your carrier or the store from which you bought it while they fix it. Easiest option.

[Q] screen problems, how could i fix

okay so sometimes my G2's screen will have spots in the screen where the color and outline of whatever is on the screen on fuzzy blue and red, i would show you but whenever i use shootme to capture my screen it shows up normal. whenever i slide the screen open it gets worse, so ill get lucky when the screen finally goes back to normal sometimes. but i got used to it and now sometimes the screen will flicker and shut off. i cant even get into recovery or the bootloader because of the screen problem. its becoming quite annoying, is there anyway i can replace the screen? or how could i go about getting the top part of the phone replaces as i believe its a problem with the connecting ribbon inbetween the two halves of the phone? bleh

Help would be greatly appriciated

Sounds like the ribbon cable between the screen and the keyboard may be damaged.

yea thats what i was thinking, it seems like the most obvious choice. everytime i google replacemnt screen ribbons all i can find is camera and keyboard ribbons or something. do you know anything? im think my upgrade is soon and G2xs are free so im just gonna get one of those, they any good compared to the G2?

Broken screen or what?

A relative of mine also owns a G2 but recently they experienced a weird issue. They just picked up the phone just to see that the screen went bad. Wasn't in the process of flashing anything. The phone ran CM7.0.2 for the longest time. It was all black with a white line running across the screen and the capacitive buttons are stilll lit. After a week or so, the white line disappeared and its just a black screen now.
There's no water damage as it went nowhere near water and the water damage indicator is still white. Could the screen be broken? A loose connector? Any help?

I don't know much about the g2 but try and enter the bootloaders. If they come up then its programming. Something like that happened to my hd2 cuz a bad flash.
If they don't then its prob the screen.

You think just ordering a new screen from Amazon or eBay and replacing it will do trick? And yeah I just thought about bootloader as I wrote the question.

if it ran a long time i would guess a hardware failure (if it doesnt even show up bootloader)
so you need to replace the display.
does the display even initialize when powering up the phone?
when switching the phone on you see its "switching" from black to dark gray (lighter black as it is when powered off)
cause if it doesnt even get power, it could be something on the phone too which doesnt give (enough?) power to the display...

Yeah. but I'd take it apart if u know how just to check

Try to connect with adb just to make sure your phone is still working before you spend money on a screen. Unless it rings when you call it or something.

screen has scanlines (black stripes)

for some reason just in a sudden my wildfire has lots of scanlines. it seems asif the lines, which are horozontal btw, are with a pixel space distance from eachother. but when you touch the screen there is one line that dissapears... even in boot and recovery it is showing this problem...
any help appraciated...

Could possibly be a loose or worn connection, i dropped my Willy (still tickles me that slym) on a tiled floor and had a few dots that seemed to get bigger and smaller of their own accord, not saying you should do this but i accidentally dropped mine again and it fixed my problem.
Probably a loose connection between the screen and motherboard or the screen is beginning to fail.

If you look on youtube, there are videos showing how to open it up, its not difficult but there is a cable which folds around at the bottom of the screen for the backlights on the buttons, just be careful you don't tear it or your button lights won't work anymore. It may just need a little clean out. If that doesn't fix it then new screens are cheap enough but i've said it before n i'll say it again, is it worth spending money on?
Maybe time to think about an upgrade.......

i do have an upgrade i have a sensation xe since 4 weeks, but a friend of mine borrowed this one cause his died 2 weeks ago and it all was still good untill last weekend... but i might wanna try to look for the video and indeed clean it, maybe it helps... thanks for the info

new screen wont work

I bought a new screen but the screen stays black and everything else work I can feel my phone vibrate when I touch the screen but cant see nothing at all has anyone else ran into this problem?

You mean you bought a replacement screen and put it in yourself? I'd check all the ribbon cables because it seems like your digitizer is working but the oled isnt getting signal/power

+1 to that. Sounds like user error! Probably excited and wanted to put the phone back together asap! Lol
